Wormhole Rankings: 12-Month & 48-Month Holding Periods
Purpose: Keep quality, timing and asymmetry separate. CIF/DIIF measures business quality; Wormhole measures nonlinear repricing potential. The 48-month Base Case is the primary capital-allocation comparison; Best Case is an upside scenario boundary, not a price target.
Investment Interpretation
Best CIF + Wormhole intersection: FIGR, GLXY, IREN, SECZ, SBET and STKE. These combine stronger business quality/survivability with meaningful 48-month nonlinear upside.
Highest asymmetry / wider outcome distribution: SLNH, FWDI, DEFT and HYPD. Smaller valuations create greater percentage upside, but execution, financing and dilution risks are materially higher.
- FIGR: Current #1 48-month Wormhole candidate because blockchain finance is already commercially operating; the nonlinear opportunity is expansion into mainstream capital-market infrastructure.
- SECZ: Exceptional tokenization/RWA positioning and institutional relationships, but near-term earnings execution is less mature. High 48-month Recognition Distance.
- SLNH: Extreme asymmetric AI-power case. A financeable Kati tenant could materially revalue the company, but probability of adverse outcomes is higher than FIGR/GLXY/IREN.
- SBET: Remains a high-conviction Ethereum platform candidate. The thesis is increasingly productive ETH + institutional yield + ecosystem/business building, not simply passive ETH ownership.
Standing Group #3 Reporting Rule
Every formal Group #3 update will show separately: CIF/DIIF Rank | 12-Month Wormhole Rank | 48-Month Wormhole Rank | 48-Month Worst/Base/Best price scenarios. Stage Analysis and TipRanks/Street targets are overlays, not primary scoring inputs. Base Case is used primarily for capital-allocation comparisons; Best Case is an upside boundary rather than a target.
CIT/DIIF are measures of Quality, Balance Sheet, Corporate Development or said another way, everything we can think of that positions a company to be successful from a management, operational and fundamental perspective. Industry position and probabilities of success are factored into the calculations. This is contrasted by The WormHole Factors (above) which focuses on best asymmetric stock price opportunity over the next one to three-years. The risk lever is higher in the WormHole screening because they are generally less known, undiscovered and thinly traded than the higher ranked CIF/DIIF names.

The ranking system can change for many reasons. Corpoprate developments announcements, Quarterly reports, changes in management and stock offerings are examples of contributing factors. We check monthly between reporting seasons but weekly during quarterly reporting seasons. Our system is tracking fundamental changes at the company level. Technical analysis or dollar cost management can be found easily on-line of more likely done in your own personal style. We are available to assist in helping you create a personal methodology or help fine tune what you are now doing. “Know Your Company” is where the money is made and lost in our opinion. Searching for “number go up” without knowing the company is something we try to avoid. Drop us an email if we can be of assistance.
